Close on the heels of a Karimnagar student committing student at IIT Madras two days ago, another belonging to IIT Kanpur killed himself by consuming poison in Hayatnagar here on Thursday.
He had reportedly been rusticated from the institute. According to the police, 20-year-old Vadithya Nehru was studying for his B. Tech (electronics) degree at IIT Kanpur.

The matter had also come to the notice of his parents. At around 3. 30 p.m. Thursday, Nehru had a conversation with his family and his brother on the mobile phone and went to a underconstruction apartment at Abdullahpurmet within Hayatnagar police station limits.
There he drank poison. Workers at the site noticed him lying unconscious and alerted the police. He was shifted to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him brought dead. “Nehru obtained admission in B.

The inspector said Nehru returned to Hyderabad and stayed in a friend’s room. He used to call his parents and lie that he was in Kanpur. But his father had found out and asked him to come home.
